Just what I wanted to point out. Don't assume anything in a case like this: go for the "out of bounds", if you don't know for sure that the ball went in. The trail will come to rescue. I've seen the opposite: the ball didn't go in and the lead didn't call the "out of bounds". You can imagine the embarrassment for a very late call. It's easy to smile and say "well, I was looking down" after an undue call; it's not that easy for an obvious missed call.
